VISITORS INVITED Bang's Disease Is Costly ToDairymen Tests for Bang's disease most costly disease facing dairymen today have been completed in six counties, eradicating programs are in pro gress in 15 other counties and seven are on the "waiting list," Lr. Wil liam Moore, chief of the N. C. De partment of Agriculture's veterinary division has announced. Testing work is now in progress in Haywood. The department is co-operating with the federal Pureau of Animal Industry in a program to eliminate Pang's disease, but before work can be started in any county, the board of county commissioners or the coun ty's governing body must sign an agreement with the State-Federal co operating agencies. When an agree ment is signed, it then becomes com pulsory for all cattle owners to have their animals tested. If Pang's disease is found in any co-operating county, the diseased an imals are condumed, appraised and the owner paid for stock slaughtered by the federal government. The Pang's control program was launched in North Carolina in the latter part of 1934, and in four years 48,425 herds comprising 387,250 cat tle have been tested and 13,597 dis eased animals condmned and slaugh tered and indemnity paid.
